A survey for updates on all traffic light signals would be carried out aiming to reduce traffic congestion in Colombo, Traffic and Road Safety Director SSP Indika Hapugoda said.
He said the joint survey would be carried out by the Sri Lanka Police, Road Development Authority and the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC).
“The green signal countdown time on traffic lights will be increased on roads where most vehicles were travelling while the countdown time will be reduced when there were fewer vehicles, following the survey, he said.
Meanwhile, the SSP said that the traffic lane law, which was implemented on September 14, would be strictly imposed from today.
He said legal action would be taken against the motorists who drive zig-zag between lanes.
